History
"Nothing ever changes around here... it's always the same..." 

These were the words commonly muttered as Shiroji Akihiko would wake up every morning three years ago. Same old morning routine, same little cafe for breakfast before headed to work, same old boring job, same old small apartment. Little did he know that his life was about to change one day when he decided to change it up for lunch on his day off and try out a new restaurant around the corner. As he sat down to eat, he could hear a group of three behind him playing some kind of game.

"I'll call this unit through this skill, and it gains +3000 power, now I swing and boost!"

"No guard!"

Curiosity getting the better of him, he turned around to watch them play their game. Just from watching them, he gathered that the name of the game was called Cardfight Vanguard. Intrigued, he decided to walk on over and introduce himself.

"Interesting game. My name is Shiro. Mind if I sit down and learn?" He asked politely, watching as the faces on the three strangers before him lit up with excitement. 

"Sure! You can learn using my deck! My name is Alex. These two are Corey and Erika." He told Shiroji as he offered the chair next to him and began teaching him how to play the game. Getting their numbers and promising to show up at the card shop he was told about the next day, he goes home and eagerly awaits the time he would be changing things up from his boring life. 

"Looks like things... are about to get real interesting..." He muttered as he fell asleep.

For the next three years, he would gain a reputation as the Blaster since any deck he made for the game would involve his favorite card, Blaster Blade. Himself and the three who had taught him have all formed a team and went to events on the regular. Never a dull moment, Shiroji always looked forward to every Friday evening when he would meet up with everyone at the card shop and have the time of his life.

Present day, the four of them were eagerly waiting in line for something that was long awaited and was finally being released: Sword Art Online. Excitement surged through Shiroji as he imagined crafting his own armor and gear so that he could SAO's own version of Blaster Blade. Imagining himself in the dark blue and white armor, he knew that he wouldn't be able to achieve exactly what he wanted, but he was determined to at least make it as close as possible. 

Once everyone had their Nerve Gear and hard copies of SAO, they all went to Shiroji's house where they all got ready to log in for the first time.

"See you guys on the other side! Link Start!" Shiroji said, experiencing the Full Dive for the first time. Little did he know that a brand new adventure was about to begin... one where his life was truly on the line...

Personality
Typically quiet, Shiroji tends to keep to himself unless something catches his interest. Unless it is Vanguard related, he will literally ignore most things and continue on with his daily routine. Most would consider him to be rude or ignorant, however it is merely a lack of interest and he honestly means no harm by his behavior. While he is playing Vanguard, however, he turns into one of the most cheerful and exciting people you could ever meet. Extremely loyal to his friends, he always makes sure everyone gets what they need and is always smiling. He literally is the light of the group that shines bright and keeps everyone's spirits up, even if things are looking down for them at an event. 

He also has a passion for the unknown, which was what brought him to learn more about Sword Art Online and convince the others to join him. Even Erika, who hated video games, was convinced by Shiroji to give it a try. It was his cheerful demeanor that usually helped persuade others to join him in whatever it was that he was attempting to do. Shiroji gets a thrill from discovering new places and ideas, so he figured SAO would be absolutely perfect for him, and what better way to experience something new that with his friends?

Virtues:
Loyal - His friends are as close to him as family, if not closer. Shiroji will do whatever he deems necessary to assist a friend in need, whether it be something as simple as loaning a couple bucks to someone for lunch or even going so far as to take the heat for something that would get his friend in serious trouble. Although, he will not put himself or anyone else in harm's way to prove his loyalty. 

Determined - When Shiroji finds something he is interested in, he will do whatever he can, within reason, to learn everything about it or see it through to the end. Once he sets his sights on a goal, it is rare that he will give up on it has proven, despite all his best efforts, to be unachievable. This can sometimes lead to him getting into trouble or accidentally injuring himself since he can tend to be a bit stubborn.

Cheerful - Always found with a smile on his face, despite the situation. Even in the darkest of moments, Shiroji can be found keeping a positive attitude and always finding the bright side to everything. This trait tends to draw others close to him as his cheerfulness can be contagious.

Flaws:
Disinterested - Tends to become bored easily when not dealing with something he is generally not interested in, causing him to space out and slack off. Many frown upon this behavior and tend to get upset with him, however he will typically just shrug it off, claiming that if it isn't something that grasps his full attention, he can't think of any reason to put any effort towards it. This tends to lead towards a lazy or ignorant demeanor.

Stubborn - Shiroji is extremely think headed and once he does set his mind on something, he will see it through to the end if he can help it. Won't take no for an answer and will argue his point across until he is blue in the face. Goes hand in hand with his determination.

Impulsive - Tends to act before thinking, especially when it comes to getting something he wants. Typically gets himself into trouble, however his impulsive buys or habits are typically on the mild side. The worst impulsive buy he had ever done was buy an entire case of cards for the team, which cost him almost $1000, just so that he could get playsets of cards that he needed.
